Goodwillie, who currently plays for Plymouth Argyle, and Robertson, who is signed with Cowdenbeath FC, now both face being dropped by the clubs.

He said in a statement: "I have spent the last six years and every penny I have fighting the allegations against me.

"I hoped that the opinion of Lord Armstrong would allow me finally to draw a line under this and move on with my life. I am devastated by his opinion.

"Over two days in the witness box I spoke honestly and truthfully and gave a detailed account (including under cross examination) about everything that happened on the evening of January 1 and early morning of January 2.

"I am struggling to understand why the judge has discounted my evidence and all of the other evidence of those who have said what they saw or heard that morning.

"I am currently taking advice on what options are open to me regarding lodging an appeal.

"As a 21-year-old I acted immaturely, naively and probably not as respectfully or with the same consideration towards someone I was with as I could have, and if that was the case I apologise for that.
